It can never be a mountain out of a molehill were security is concerned IMO.
There are security breaches, but they need to be minimised..If you knew of similar incidents like this that did not get reported..Then this is not an isolated incident.
All airports and airlines can learn from this..A very clever 11 years old could have been al qaeda.
The UK are militarily involved in sensitive places, and as such are and will remain a target for the foreseeable future..
Not that long ago Glasgow airport was targeted by terrorist..After which armed police with semi automatic machine guns sealed of the terminal.
There was no direct attack on Blackpool, Glasgow was rammed by a burning car, and the police thwarted two attempts in London.
Terrorist attacks when they come, are out of the blue...We had this recent incident and if we can improve security as a result, then that mountain was well made from that molehill.
pwalhx - I am not saying security in MAN or the UK is poor..maybe people do come and ask for advice..Lets make sure we have the best possible advice to give them.
